Conte 2 born with 10 M5S, 9 PD, 1 LeU, 7 women out of 21

We'll work with energy and passion says PM-designate

(ANSAmed) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 4 - The second government of
Giuseppe Conte, an alliance between the anti-establishment
5-Star Movement (M5S) and the centre-left Democratic Party (PD),
will have 21 ministers, 10 from the M5S, nine from the PD and
one from the small leftwing Free and Equal (LeU) party.
There are seven women, a third of the total, among
these the only technocrat, Luciana Lamorgese, at the interior.

The M5S also gets the cabinet secretary, Riccardo Fraccaro.

The government will be sworn in at 10 a.m. Thursday and face
confidence votes starting Friday.

Conte said after announcing his list of ministers Wednesday
that "fortified by a programme that looks to the future, we will
devote our best energies, our competencies and our passion to
make Italy better in the interests of all citizens".

PD leader Nicola Zingaretti said "this turning point is good,
now it's time to change Italy.
"The government is born in parliament like the previous
government, we have stopped Salvini and the mere announcement of
this phase is making Italy a protagonist again in Europe.
"The incredible fall in the spread that has already
been determined means more money in Italians' pockets.
"We have been united and responsible.
"Now there is a single programme, of all, clear, and a new
team.
"The government is of strong change, also generational".

President Sergio Mattarella said Wednesday "there is a
parliamentary majority and a government has been formed and the
word is over to the parliament and the government which in the
next few days will present itself to the houses of parliament to
ask for confidence and present the programme".

Anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader Matteo Salvini, who
puled the plug on Conte's last M5S-League government on August 8
citing M5S inaction, said "a government born between Paris and
Berlin and from the fear of leaving their posts, without dignity
and without ideals, with the wrong people in the wrong place".

He said "we are working like and more than before, they
won't be able to dodge the judgement of the Italians for too
long: we're ready, time is a gentleman, in the end it is us who
will win".

Following is the list of ministers, starting with M5S leader
Luigi Di Maio, who picks up the foreign minister's policy after
being deputy premier, labour and industry minister in the first
Conte executive.
